10mm Spacers

[orangemuffin]

Right, was chatting with cuprakid last night at the Derby meet about this and just want to make 100% sure that

Can I use the standard bolts with 10mm spacers ? is it safe to ?

 

[orangemuffin]

Anyone, there going on tomorrow and dont want to drive an unsafe car about ?

try puttin one on and see hav many times u can turn it...... if you think mmmmmmmmm then don't lol

Really don't know, I got 15mm on the rear and got longer bolts. Better to be safe than sorry! Be honest I wouldn't like to risk it!

Unless someone on here hav done it and it's been on the car for a year or 2!

You can try Bill at Badger5. He'll sort some out for you.

 

[Dave_R]

Reminds me, I haven't ordered my rear pads from him yet!

i used longer bolts on 10mm spacers, the last thing you want is your wheels to decide they dont like the car and leave, i've had that happen before (on the polo, and some tw@s undid the wheel nuts on my drive) and it'll be THE scariest thing you'll experience

 

[orangemuffin]

Fair comment.

will wait for the bolts to come.

 

[Fl@pper]

wheel bolts just do my box in

actually i'll give badger a shout

[orangemuffin]
